Hello. York has the Seven Gates of Hell, doesn't it? I've also heard some stories from Carlisle...and defintely check out Gettysburg. If ya want a good source for ghost info, check out Shadowlands.net and look up the listings of haunted Pennsylvania. Best of luck and happy hunting.

Don't even bother looking for the 7 gates. Its a total local legend. We went looking for it two years ago and ended up emptyhanded. This, in turn, started a search involving about 27 people which scoured the area. They also turned up empty handed. There's an abandoned house in the area, but thats all it is, a run down abandoned house. Good luck with your search though.

There are alot of haunted places in Lancaster, Pa. Mostlt in the city. there is one house that is on the corner of East Lemon and North Lime Streets. I lived there when I was a little girl , about 9 yrs. old, there was a gas station on one side and a graveyard on the other. Every night we heard people walking up and down the stairs and alot of mumbled voices. No one ever believed me until the the old residents came walking past and we stopped them and told them about what we have been hearing and they told us there was an old tunnel in the basement that he covered up because he thought the tunnel led under the graves. He also told us about the tombstones he found behind a particle board wall. He said there are people buried in the basement that the caretakers thought were to evil to be buried among those that were saved. needless to say when my parents found the headstones with weird writing on them we moved out in 2 weeks. Lancaster may not be much but, we do have our ghosts.

My wife and I stayed in a B&B near Lancaster a few years ago, and went into town one fall evening to find a spot to eat dinner. The town just felt haunted. VERY strong atmosphere there. It was a nice town, but truth be told I was relieved to get out of there the next day.

me too...let me know if you find anything...but i do know of this one place out by blairsville..i don't know exactly where its at but I know you go back this no outlet road and there are two gates that you can go through (you have to walk though)they say not to go past the second gate but as soon as we went past the second gate and a bunch of people came out screaming DON'T GO BACK THERE!!!! THEY'LL SHOOT YOU!!!!!! and right after that the people disappeared and a bunch of gun shots were fired right in our direction..

Pigmaster is a crazy old man who owns pigfarm at the end of a rural dirt road in Western PA. He posts bizaare signs and weird sculptures on the side of the road. Some say he kills teenagers who try to trespass.
